How to invest when prices are galloping and disruptive fires are increasing? Many investors will opt for blue chips.

    RWE: Energy will still be needed in the future

    If you prefer a conservative approach, you can take a closer look at the RWE share. Over the years, the energy supplier has given itself a new image and is investing heavily in renewable energy. In the first half of the year, sales increased by a whopping 25.4%, while profits even rose by more than 40%. Nevertheless, the Company is in a difficult situation. Climate neutrality is approaching, and legislators are doing everything they can to achieve this goal. Since RWE still generates around 60% of its energy from fossil fuels, trading emission rights could become increasingly challenging and expensive for the Company in the long term.

    On the other hand, Germany, as an industrial location, is dependent on electricity. It is hard to imagine that the new German government will create a framework that will prevent RWE from making an orderly transition to renewable energy sources. The Company is currently investing heavily in wind farms, for example, in the North Sea. The share has lost around 8.7% in the past year. However, it is coming into an interesting area between EUR 28 and EUR 30, where the value could find support. The dividend yield of 2.8% could be another argument in favor of the stock.

    Desert Gold: Anticyclical opportunity for the brave

    Unlike large blue chips, stocks like Desert Gold are much more speculative. Conversely, this also means greater opportunities, but investors need to look at the specific story behind the Company. Desert Gold operates in Mali and has an area of 410 sq km on the border with Senegal. In the past, gold grades, such as 16.03 g/t gold over 7m, have caused a stir. Further drilling is planned for this fall, with a new resource estimate due in 2022.

    The gold in the ground at Desert Gold's properties is valued at a whopping discount as a classic gold developer. Usually, good drill results or company announcements that make production more likely provide short steep rises. That is what happened between April and July 2020, when the stock tripled. However, the past few months have seen more of a consolidation. As the Company has continued to operate and there have been no apparent setbacks, Desert Gold could be a countercyclical opportunity for speculative investors. However, it is advisable to choose smaller position sizes compared to standard stocks. With a market capitalization in the low double digits, Desert Gold must be considered opportunity-oriented.

    Deutsche Bank: What can the digital dinosaur do?

    Investments in financial stocks could also offer opportunities - at least one might think so. Why? The industry has been adopting a more digital approach for years, and the prospect of slightly rising interest rates could give banks more leeway to boost traditional lending business again. But what does the reality look like? Stocks like Deutsche Bank are always good for short flashes in the pan, but they can also go down again. After all, the Deutsche Bank share broke out to the upside in the last few trading days and reached a new three-month high. Thus, at least the annual high of EUR 12.50 should become realistic again. How things can continue in the long term, however, remains to be seen. The major German banks may always pretend to be modern and innovative, but in practice, the wind from times long past still blows in the towers in Frankfurt.


    Financial stocks, such as Deutsche Bank, have catch-up potential from a very long-term perspective, but it is by no means clear that banks will return to their former glory. Things look better for utilities - here, inflation and the industry's energy needs speak for a stable business. Desert Gold is relatively unaffected by external influences: The value should gain momentum if the next drilling hits the mark.

    Gold rush 2025: Why Desert Gold Ventures Inc. is now on the brink of a historic revaluation!

    • Mining
    • Gold
    • Investments

    Imagine this: A company is sitting on a gold treasure trove of over 1.1 million ounces – and is valued by the market as if this treasure were worthless. While the gold price has soared to a record high of over USD 3,442 per troy ounce, shares in Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (WKN: A14X09 | ISIN: CA25039N4084 | TSXV: DAU) are currently still trading at rock-bottom prices. But that could change radically in the near future. The escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel is driving the price of the precious metal to rise, which in turn is boosting the appeal of gold companies. The countdown to a revaluation is on – and savvy investors should take a close look now!

    Alarm bells ringing for GOLD and DEFENSE: RENK, Barrick Mining, and comeback story AJN Resources

    • Commodities
    • Defense

    Is the gold price facing a short squeeze? The ECB is certainly painting a horror scenario. This could have serious consequences for banks and the entire financial system. For gold producers and exploration companies, this means further momentum. While Barrick Mining is a core investment, it is also suffering from home-grown problems. AJN Resources is working on the comeback story of the year in the commodities sector. The valuation is still favorable, and exciting news is on the horizon. In the defense sector, consolidation could already be over. The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran will likely drive the shares of RENK, Rheinmetall, and others. Analysts see potential for RENK to reach a new all-time high, and the Company recently reported an order from outside Europe.

    Is Power Metallic Mines poised for a summer rally? There are certainly good reasons to believe so: Following the discovery of its world-class multi-metal project, the stock has consolidated healthily. At the same time, further positive drilling results were reported, followed by a massive expansion of the area this week. Now, an extensive new drilling program is getting underway. Plug Power has shown in recent days how quickly a stock can rise by 50%. The insolvency candidate has delivered several pieces of positive news, and a short squeeze could drive the stock further. At Novo Nordisk, investors are realizing that the sell-off in recent months may have been too severe. The stock is working on a new upward trend. A hedge fund and a partnership in the AI sector are providing tailwinds.
